  • Publisher : Edward Elgar Publishing
  • Release : 2012-01-01
  • ISBN : 1781005117
  • Pages : 339 pages

Download or read book Methods of Comparative Law written by P. G. Monateri and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising an array of distinguished contributors, this pioneering volume of original contributions explores theoretical and empirical issues in comparative law. The innovative, interpretive approach found here combines explorative scholarship and research with thoughtful, qualitative critiques of the field. The book promotes a deeper appreciation of classical theories and offers new ways to re-orient the study of legal transplants and transnational codes. Methods of Comparative Law brings to bear new thinking on topics including: the mutual relationship between space and law; the plot that structures legal narratives, identities and judicial interpretations; a strategic approach to legal decision making; and the inner potentialities of the 'comparative law and economics' approach to the field. Together, the contributors reassess the scientific understanding of comparative methodologies in the field of law in order to provide both critical insights into the traditional literature and an original overview of the most recent and purposive trends. A welcome addition to the lively field of comparative law, Methods of Comparative Law will appeal to students and scholars of law, comparative law and economics. Judges and practitioners will also find much of interest here.

Book Tombs  Temples and Their Orientations

Download or read book Tombs Temples and Their Orientations written by Michael A. Hoskin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of archaeoastronomy looks at more than 2,500 communal tombs and sanctuaries from around the Mediterranean. After a brief discussion of Hoskin's aims and the methodology for his fieldwork, individual chapters focus on evidence from particular regions: Malta, Gozo, the Balearics, Iberia, southern France, Corsica and Sardinia, Sicily and Pantelleria, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. The author concludes that in most of these regions the monuments faced sunrise, or more generally the sun when it was rising or climbing in the sky. Along the Mediterranean coast of France, however, there is a reverse sunset custom; in North Africa tombs faced downhill and in a Minoan cemetery on Crete all the tombs faced moonrise and look towards a mountain on whose peak was a sanctuary probably sacred to a lunar god. 264p, b/w figs and photos throughout, tables (Ocarina Books 2001) ` adorned with dozens of beautiful photographs, technical diagrams, and an extraordinary Corpus Mensurarum.....a living masterpiece in the field of archaeoastronomy ' - Juan Antonio Belmonte, Instituto de Astroficia de Canarias `

Book Christ Versus Arizona

    Book Details:
  • Author : Camilo José Cela
  • Publisher : Dalkey Archive Press
  • Release : 2007
  • ISBN : 1564783413
  • Pages : 290 pages

Download or read book Christ Versus Arizona written by Camilo José Cela and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and the McLaurys. Set against a backdrop of an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel Prize-winning author. A monologue by the naive, unreliable, and uneducated Wendell L. Espana, the book weaves together hundreds of characters and a torrent of interconnected anecdotes, some true, some fabricated. Wendell s story is a document of the vast array of ills that welcomed the dawning of the twentieth century, ills that continue to shape our world in the new millennium."

Book Journey to the Alcarria

    Book Details:
  • Author : Camilo José Cela
  • Publisher : Atlantic Monthly Press
  • Release : 1990
  • ISBN : 9780871133793
  • Pages : 168 pages

Download or read book Journey to the Alcarria written by Camilo José Cela and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize for Literature, Camilo José Cela has long been recognized as one of the preeminent Spanish writers of the twentieth century. Journey to the Alcarria is the best known of his vagabundajes, Cela's term for his books of travels, sketchbooks of regions or provinces. The Alcarria is a territory in New Castile, northeast of Madrid, surrounding most of the Guadalajara province. The region is high, rocky, and dry, and is famous for its honey. Cela himself is "the traveler," an urban intellectual wandering from village to village, through farms and along country roads, in search of the Spanish character. Cela relishes his encounters with the simple, honest people of the Spanish countryside--the blushing maid in the tavern, the small-town shopkeeper with airs of grandeur lonely for companionship, the old peasant with his donkey who freely shares his bread and blanket with the stranger. These vignettes are narrated in a fresh, clear prose that is wonderfully evocative. As the New York Times wrote, Cela is "an outspoken observer of human life who built his reputation on portraying what he observed in a direct colloquial style."

Book Los grandes vinos de Burdeos

Download or read book Los grandes vinos de Burdeos written by Diego Núñez and published by Vision Libros. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se debaten hoy en el mundo del vino, tal vez más que nunca, las grandes cuestiones que han preocupado grandemente a la historia de nuestra cultura occidental desde su nacimiento en el siglo XVI: cómo conciliar tradición y moderni¬dad; cómo articular el triángulo de términos formado por el hombre, la técnica y la naturaleza, y cómo preservar el principio de identidad en medio de un contexto de rápidas mutaciones y de inevitables referencias planetarias. Estas cuestiones cobran especial relieve en una época en la que irrumpe con fuerza una filosofía vinícola –procedente, sobre todo, de los nuevos paises productores–, que da más importancia a las cepas que al terroir, a la alta tecnología vinícola que a las uvas, a la madera que al vino que ésta contiene. El resultado suele ser en la mayoría de los casos vinos simples y francos de gusto, elaborados bajo un patrón uniforme, con aromas agradables y fáciles de beber. Desde luego, no son vinos con vocación de despertar grandes sorpresas en el bebedor. Decía Aristóteles que el origen del conocimiento radica en la capacidad de asombro ante las cosas. Desde este punto de vista, los vinos fabricados con semejante filosofía vinícola no estimulan en demasía el afán de conocer. La sensación de incertidumbre y de expectativa ante los secretos que una gran botella de vino puede encerrar es tan importante como el acto mismo de su degustación. Pero para esto es preciso que haya botellas que nos motiven, botellas capaces de suscitar entusiasmos o decepciones. ¿Cómo afrontar, si no, un vino como Lafite que de largos mutismos pasa a eclosiones brillantes? Luego, y como momento tercero y final del buen ritual vinícola, vendrá la fase del comentario sutil y regocijado o del prolongado debate. Sobre el Mouton del 45, o el Lafite del 59, o el Latour del 61, o el Pétrus del 89, se puede estar hablan¬do horas y horas, en inagotable ejercicio espiritual, como aquellos monjes medievales discutían sobr...
